Today on Last Call, Warren Elly discusses the ticking clock on saving the Jackson House, a very important piece of Tampa History.

Tampa City Council has passed on first reading a fertilizer ordinance that would cut down on the pollution that drains from lawns into the regionâs waterways, including Tampa Bay. The excess nutrients lead to algae blooms. Five members of the public spoke in opposition to the ban this morning. But double that number, including local Sierra Club representative Phil Compton, urged Council to support a rainy-season ban on sale and use of nitrogen or phosphorus fertilizer.

Last night, on the eve of today's elections, Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink made a "hometown" stop at the Ritz theater in Ybor City along with several other statewide Democratic contenders.

Virtually every democratic candidate on the state and local ballot was at the Ritz theater in Ybor City yesterday for a brief but fiery barnstorming rally to get the vote out in the neck and neck race between Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink and Republican Rick Scott. Former Fl...

Much of the news mediaâs coverage of this election season has centered on a voting block that is far from diverse, the only difference among voters being the source of their anger.

Today marked the first of these and a handful of those vying for local office confronted everything from transit to class size. Compared to the fierce debates that are making this year unusually volatile it was pretty quiet. The only testy exchange happened between two candidates who arenât even running against one another.
